Activist Archivists Document the Living Wage Movement Presented by Jeff Cowick Carmen Cowick

An Introduction to the Project… The Living Wage Project began in February 2014 as a graduate student-led project intending to document the current movement fighting for a living wage across the United States. In addition to seeking out organizations who are a part of this movement, the project founders were interested in archiving their own archivist experience in the movement by documenting rallies they have attended and donating personal items to the archive.

Archiving Current Social Movements Real-time documentation has its advantages: The ability to cut down on mythmaking, because primary source materials would be readily available. It would cut down on the chances of misremembering the events and dates.

Archiving Current Social Movements (cont’d) Real-time documentation has its advantages: Eliminates either undermining or overestimating the importance of a social movement.

Choosing a Digital Platform What software platform should be used to build the site that would best suit the collection? What metadata schema is most appropriate for this type of digital collection? Which plug-ins will offer the best access to the collection; and will they provide improved understanding of the project?

Choosing a Digital Platform (cont’d) Is commercial branded software or open- source software better for this project? Which open source software to choose?

LWP’s Oral Histories Collection This collection was created by the founders/archivists themselves, actively soliciting interviews, not just collecting ready-made recordings as with most archival materials of this kind.

Oral History Obstacles… Many did not know what an archive was and did not understand why someone would want an oral history of their views and ideas on this subject. Attempting to solicit these interviews on Facebook and giving the option of doing the oral history over the phone proved unfruitful, mostly due to flakiness of the potential participant and not for their lack of consent.

Photographs and Video within the Project Founders Collection The Living Wage Project founders have included in their collection of photographs and videos taken themselves while in attendance at functions of the living wage movement.

Photographs and Videos: Advantages The primary advantage was in not needing to solicit donations from others who were photographing or recording the event. Furthermore, by posting the videos to The Living Wage Project’s YouTube account, it allowed traffic to be brought to the digital archive. Links to the videos were also tweeted on Twitter and published on Facebook.
